We arrived in Taiwan after an unpleasant flight from Sydney. The flights were OK, but the 5-hour layover in Singapore and the 5:30 am arrival were not. And we couldn’t check into the hotel until 2 pm. So we were just hanging out at street markets, until Devon told us he was recording a TV show that morning and asked if we wanted to come watch. So we did, and though we were tired, with a little coffee we enjoyed the event. We got to meet some mid-level Taiwan celebrities (Devon would be considered low level), and watch a show be produced.
Devon is on the far left.
We went out with Devon for dinner after, then the next day we met his latest girlfriend, Mia.
We discovered yesterday that a friend is getting married in Taipei this morning. We know the groom and his parents in Tempe. Unfortunately it is too late to buy a tuxedo and attend, but we will try to meet up with the couple and family while we are here.
Today we are washing clothes in the morning, and probably meeting Devon and maybe Mia in the afternoon. It’s laid-back time in Taipei.

Nice that you know the city well enough that you can entertain yourselves for periods of time and also enjoy some down time. However the lack of a hotel room for 8 1/2 hours while you roamed the streets had to suck.
